<h2> </h2>
RedHat 5.1 is distributed with glibc-2.0.7-13 and egcs-1.0.2-8.
ACE and TAO work just fine with it.<p>
With RedHat 5.0 distributions of Linux, it's best to upgrade the
distribution with these:
<ul>
<li>glibc-2.0.7-7 or later, or<br>
glibc-2.0.6
(at <a href="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/gnu/glibc-2.0.6.tar.gz">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/gnu/glibc-2.0.6.tar.gz</a>)
plus <a href="#Old Patches">Torbjörn's patch, below</a>
<li>egcs 1.0.2 (from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/releases/)
</ul>
Thanks to James CE Johnson <jjohnson@lads.com>, Torbjörn
Lindgren <tl@funcom.com>, Oleg Krivosheev
<kriol@fnal.gov>, and Chanaka Liyanaarachchi
<chanakal@ittc.ukans.edu> for this information. With the above
configurations, ACE compiles and runs cleanly on Intel platforms. It
compiles and runs cleanly on Alpha platforms with the patches listed
below.<p>
<strong><blink><font color="#ff0000">WARNING:</font></blink></strong>
There is a bug in <code>getsockname ()</code> on versions of Linux
through 2.0.30, at least. <code>getsockname ()</code> returns an
Internet host address of 127.0.0.1 (localhost) instead of 0.0.0.0 for
sockets that aren't connected. This bug prevents TAO servers from
working correctly. To fix it, comment out these two lines in function
<code>inet_getname ()</code> in
<code>/usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/af_inet.c</code>:
<pre>
} else {
__u32 addr = sk->rcv_saddr;
if (!addr) {
addr = sk->saddr;
/* comment out this line: if (!addr) */
/* comment out this line: addr = ip_my_addr(); */
}
sin->sin_port = sk->dummy_th.source;
sin->sin_addr.s_addr = addr;
}
</pre>
and rebuild your kernel. This fix has been implemented in 2.1.x
versions of the kernel.<p>
Without the following patch from Scott Snyder <sss@d0linux01.fnal.gov>,
egcs 1.0.1 on Linux won't be able to compile
netsvcs/lib/Server_Logging_Handler.cpp:

With RedHat 5.0 on Alpha CPUs, two system patches and one
glibc-2.0.6/linuxthreads patch are necessary in addition to the above.
The first patch is for the GNU assembler, gas. It is only necessary
on Alphas, and only when <code>-g</code> is used. If you don't want
to patch the assembler, you can enable the SUPPRESS_DASH_G option in
the <code>platform_linux.GNu</code>. Otherwise, this patch can be
applied to the binutils gas source. Then, rebuild and install as.
The file to be patched is binutils-2.8.1/gas/config/tc-alpha.h:<p>

library by patching linuxthreads/Makefile:

With that and the above configuration/pathes, all ACE tests run
perfectly cleanly on Alpha!<p>
